So, does becoming a quincy automatically make you ten feet tall, or...?

Uryu has always been wearing white, text! He's had a cape since SS arc! Stop trying to imply otherwise!

Though in all seriousness, I hope this means some glory coming in Uryu's direction. He deserves more than what he's got so far.
... I suspect this will only mean bad luck to him, though. That's usually what happens when you join the opposing side, throwing away all your allies, and no one on the opposing side likes you to begin with.

Awesome nazi girl enjoys chopping young males in half to ease frustration. We've all been there.
Considering it apparently happens often, I wonder if the guys are aware of it beforehand and consider it an honour, or they just think they're getting laid.

She did noticably unzip the shirt for the occasion, which could imply fuging between the two. But he definitely wore pants as he died. It's likely she had started some sort of foreplay just for the heck of it, oooorrrrr maybe she's actually using the power of her cleavage to chop him in half. Wouldn't even be surprising.

Oh hey, new chicks. The normal repertoire of girls we won't remember, their names being terrible as per usual (especially as I'm well enough indulged in germanic languages to instantly see the butchering of words). Foul mouth loli is awesome though.

I like how she's commenting on their army falling apart when she's just killed one of her subordinates for no reason.

Overall, I thought this was an alright chapter.
Kubo has been developing the Sternritter fair enough.
I just hope he doesn't waste it by killing them off in a single chapter a piece.
The ending was the type of Kubo cliffhanger tease I hate.

My initial guess of what her letter stands for still fits.

You're supposed to use spoiler tags...

Spoiler:

I laughed when I read this on the Bleach wiki...

"Following the Vandenreich's retreat from Soul Society, Bambietta is present when Yhwach appoints Uryū Ishida his successor, an announcement that shocks her. Soon after, she orders a male subordinate to accompany her to her room, under the pretense of "doing it". However, in her room she vertically bisects the man, killing him. Four of her fellow female Stern Ritter enter the room, chastising her for her habit of killing attractive men when she is annoyed. When they start to bicker amongst themselves, Bambietta tells them to shut up, as she is worried about the future of Vandenreich."

Mangastream's translation didn't give that specific context, at least from Bambietta's side.
It'll be interesting to see Viz's official translation.

Yuzu and Karin are a welcome sight! Dat everything.
Renji and Rukia are a welcome sight! Oh, cool, they're touching the reiatsu-pushing-you-down thing again. I sort of miss that mechanic. That was back when strength was measured by how terribly someone's presence broke your back and not by how ridiculous their designs were.
Apparently getting naked was the worst thing that has ever happened to them. Unless miss creepy did something more to them.

Oh hey Byakuya. Almost forgot your existence.

The vizards are a welcome sight! I want to know more about what they're doing.

Ichigo's friends are a welcome sight!
...Oh boy, here we go again. This smells of forced drama. Haven't we seen enough of Ichigo getting temporarily separated from things?

She will be 'the ecstasy' meaning that post was all wrong. The SS are actually planning to use that lesbian girl that likes Orihime to beat her. Remember that filler episode where she beat that Arrancar chick with the power of rape?

Awful series like Fairy Tail coming out with something like 6 chapters in 2 weeks and not awful ones like Bleach and One Piece having all these breaks. I guess if it means the final chapters are better then it'll be worth it.

Chapter

Spoiler:

SS Voidswapped whilst the head tactical commander is away talking to some high school students. Not the best start to his reign.

That 'in 5 days time the soul society will be annihilated by the vsndenreich' warning seems to be about to happen. He spent one day in the healing sauna, 3 days with renji down and the swords guy, the next morning with his dad and then the afternoon getting his sword done. so that sounds about right.

I wonder what Ichigo's new power would do to the world. I wonder if it'd be like his old one making those close to him spiritually aware but on a world scale. They could eventually end up with another Quincy type situation if that happened.

So the ominous warning was for naught. There was no outcome where they wouldn't be able to see him at all.

I wonder if the soul tickets are capable of transporting one to SS by oneself, or if they're means to contact SS to establish a gate.

Oh damn, bye Seiretei. Must mean all the peeps in there are gone now. I presume they're taken hostage.
Certainly, this makes Ichigo and co. (as well as the captain commander) being elsewhere quite convenient.

The tale was that he would CONQUER the world.
Yet the big bad himself says it will END the world.

He himself views his conquest of the world as an end to it? Couldn't he have tried to be more believable as a villain?

As what Zet had said, no Bleach manga for the next five weeks. :/
Kubo taking a break before getting to the final battle.
I got this info from translations of a message in the manga, by Mangastream (posted on July 16th).
I've also confirmed this from Viz's translation of the same message.

Manga 546

Spoiler:

Yeah, even the Viz translation isn't very clear on meaning Yhwach's words.

What is also not real clear is what just happened to the Seireitei.
I'm guessing that either, the Vandenreich's base has appeared next to the Seireitei, or that the Vandenreich has use a technique similar to Tenkai Kecchu that Urahara made to replace Karakura Town with FKT.
The later of which doesn't really make sense to me.

Hey everyone. I wanted to let you know that I physically won't be around for the next few days.
I'm going to unhook my computer tomorrow to prepare it for my move over the weekend.
I should have it back up early next week. Try not to miss me too much. :p

Hey guys, I promise I'm not dead.
And I don't want this club to die either.
Has it been five week yet since Kubo took his break?
It sure feels like it's been five weeks.
Either way, I believe that the manga will be coming back soon.

Oh boy, we Kyoraku/Ukitake super speshul type Zan now. I wonder if that means anything about those guys.

So shadows are a Quincy thing. Kyoraku's power involves shadows and he dual wields. Ichigo is part Quincy and he dual wields. Ukitake's ability of absorbing and releasing reishi attacks could be easily mad out to be of Quincy origin. That would leave Hisagi, well I'm not sure about him yet.

Also that Ichigo face on the front page, I wonder if that means we have "five ambulances" Ichigo now and not the one that has been in an emo coma for the last 6 years.
